If the casualty begins to breathe on their own, place them in the recovery position, monitor and treat for shock as appropriate. 9. Individual in communication with the designated medical assistance shall attempt to answer any questions, stay on the line until information is verified and follow instruction. 10. Arrange for medical transport as needed. A designated individual should be positioned to direct medical transport to the casualty. 11. Personnel shall await further instruction from the Site Supervisor, Site Safety Officer, or designate(e.g., resume activity). 4.3.3 Lightning/Weather-Related Emergencies Be Aware: Check the weather forecast before participating in outdoor activities. If the forecast calls for thunderstorms, postpone your trip or activity, or make sure adequate safe shelter is readily available. Many applications available for smart phones and devices have lightning alert capabilities or display lightning strikes on radar maps; download one for your smart phone and enable location services to receive alerts. Go Indoors: Remember the phrase, "When thunder roars,go indoors". If you see lightning and cannot count to 30 before hearing thunder,the lightning is too close for comfort. Find a safe, enclosed shelter when you hear thunder. Safe shelters include homes, offices, shopping centers, and hard-top vehicles with the windows rolled up. Crouch Close to the Ground and Separate: If you are caught in an open area, crouch down in a ball-like position (feet and knees together)with your head tucked and hands over your ears so that you are down low with minimal contact with the ground. Do NOT lie down. Lightning causes electric currents along the top of the ground that can be deadly over 100 feet away. Crouching down is the best combination of being low and touching the ground as little as possible. Separate: If you are in a group during a thunderstorm, separate from each other. This separation will reduce the number of injuries if lightning strikes the ground. If a person is struck by lightning: ■ Call 911 or other Emergency Services Contact. ■ Assess the scene to ensure that continuing risk to rescuers does not exist if lightning strikes. For other electrical- related emergencies(non-lightning), ensure the source of electricity has been de-energized. ■ Check to see if the victim is breathing and proceed with CPR if victim is not breathing. 4.3.4 Vehicle Incidents All vehicles should be rented through Navan Travel (accessible via Ecosystem)to ensure that AECOM insurance is included in the rental rate.All other insurances should be declined.AECOM has negotiated contracts with Enterprise and National which are preferred vendors. If Enterprise or National are not available, Avis or Budget shall be used. In the event of a vehicle incident(including collisions as well as mechanical difficulties such as breakdowns and flat tires)the following response is recommended. For breakdowns and flat tires, contact an emergency provider. For rental vehicles, contact the rental company. To the extent possible,AECOM personnel should not change flat tires or perform similar repairs. If a collision has occurred, assess the situation, and move all occupants(except the injured)out of further harm's way. If safe to do so, remove the car from the traveled way. Call 911 if necessary and report the incident to the Incident Hotline at 1-800-348- 5046 as soon as practical. If in an AECOM leased vehicle, contact our fleet manager, Holman, at 1-800-227-2273.If appropriate, wait for police to arrive. Provide insurance information to other drivers if necessary or requested, and collect the same (AECOM's rental vehicle insurance policy for Enterprise or Avis can be found on the DCS Americas United States or Canada travel pages). If possible, obtain names and phone numbers of witnesses. Take photographs of the scene.
